BSOD (0x00000119) crashes after updating/reinstalling Radeon HD 5670
Hi. I'm new to the forum and not quite sure how else to proceed with my BSOD issues.
I play WoW, but only started playing again recently after a few years break. I updated my Radeon HD 5670 driver and started getting black screens, errors, driver non-responsive/restarting, BSOD's, etc. I made some changes per posts/articles that I read, renamed a file, uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, downloaded suggested files like a JMicron package and Alien Autopsy, etc., and the problem persists.
When I play WoW, my driver stops responding and restarts, which leads to black screens and game restarts. Although this only happens when I first log in, then the game usually plays but with fps rates hovering around 40 on average (my fps never used to be so low). In the last few days, I've noticed a marked slowdown in fps and a weird screeching noise when there is talking in-game but it is not constant. It comes and goes.
I'm also getting BSOD crashes. Sometimes one or two in a day, and sometimes I'll get lucky and it will skip a day. This is now happening when I'm not playing the game and going about my usual business--emails, social media, GDocs, etc. There was one incident a week or two ago where my OS wouldn't even load. I kept having to hard restart and it finally worked.
I can follow instructions pretty well but am not particularly tech savvy. I'm hoping there is an easy fix like an earlier driver version or something similar.
Thank you for any input.
